I am so sorry to just now be reading this about John. He was our attorney and represented us in a counter law suit when my deceased husband's parents and I were sued after my husband's tragic death in 1990-91. Please accept my sincere condolence for your loss. John was so kind and helpful to us and I will never forget him. He had such compassion and kindness for all my family. He was dedicated to our case and became a friend to my sister in law. We were very apreciative for all he did to...

Semper Fi Mr. Pinckney!

John was a very special man, an exceptional lawyer and a great friend. Every time we saw each other we talked about baseball but he was the kind of person who was always available for advice and counsel on any subject.

I was very fortunate to have John as my mentor when I began practicing law in the early 1980s. I learned about the practice of law and so much more from him. Even after we no longer practiced together he was always willing to share his wisdom and advice. He was a great lawyer, person, and friend.

I practiced law with John for 10 years. John was a great mentor and a great lawyer. He was one of the most principled and ethical lawyers I have every known. John was a fearless advocate for his clients and his word was his bond. My condolences to his wonderful family. RIP John.
